Three Electrocuted in Oregon Winter Storm, Baby Miraculously Rescued

The victims were electrocuted after a power line fell on their car during a storm that has left over 100,000 without power and prompted a state of emergency.

Three people were electrocuted in Portland, Oregon, after slipping on ice near a live power line that had fallen onto their car during a winter storm.
An 18-year-old neighbor, Majiah Washington, rescued the 9-month-old baby from the scene, miraculously avoiding electrocution.
The victims were a pregnant woman, her boyfriend, and her 15-year-old brother. They were electrocuted when they exited their car and touched the ground while their bodies were still touching the vehicle.
Safety experts advise staying in the vehicle and calling 911 if a power line falls on your car. The ground near a downed power line can be energized, as can any standing water nearby.
The incident occurred during a series of deadly storms in the Pacific Northwest that left over 100,000 utility customers without power and led the Oregon Governor to issue a state of emergency.
